i would like to use #lemmy as a federated online tree with different communities forming the branches but it's hard to take seriously when the userbase turns it into reddit 2.0 with literal crossposting from r/gaming; there are even communities using the same nomenclature as their reddit counterparts ("mildlyinfuriating," "nottheonion," etc). lemmy has appropriated the cancer-culture that it was created to avoid.
i tried to make a community there and even posted interactive threads and i will continue to do so because i want to believe in the power of federated social media to form interesting online experiences, but it seems most would rather post motivational-posters-2.0 on l/retrogaming instead of participating in classics like "random thoughts .... WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?"
@buru5 oh wow nice. Hadn't seen anyone I know using it a bunch. And yeah, the reddit obsession is dumb. Same with people that repost Twitter screenshots here. Like, stoppppp 🤣
